I just got back from the gathering and went on my porch to see that one of the arms of my beautiful cactus has collapsed seemingly under its own weight. What does this mean, is it bad, and can I fix the problem? The arm just looks like it flopped right over.

thanks, but I read those threads before. A bunch of chemical names and biology doesn't help an engineer much. Is kieti paste/BAP/cyto-whatever available in green house stores? And wouldn't cutting off the tip cause it to slow it's vertical growth?

No it would not just slow the vertical growth of the branch it would stall it completely.No more vertical growth for this branch!

Search in garden shops for Keiki paste if you want something readymade,its used usually on orchids. Ask for cytokinins (pronounce : Shy-toe-keen-eens).If everything fails try some Coconut milk.This can be found in cans at your local asian/indian food market (i hope you livei n the stases or somewhere were asian shops are widespread.)

Cutting the tip would cause it to completely cease vertical growth in that one branch.
